[VOTE] Bug Notification E-Mails

I'm going to go ahead and call this, in the name of peace and brotherhood :)

---------

Whenever a bug is entered or modified on Nagoya Bugzilla, should Tomcat-Dev 
receive a copy of the automatic e-mail notification sent to the "assigned" 
developer?

[] +1 Tomcat-Dev should definitely be CC'ed a copy of the notifications
[] +0 Sure, why not
[] -0 I don't really care to see them, but I won't complain if I do :)
[] -1 Leave it alone (explain)

With the caveat that they should have a subject line that makes them
easily filterable.

Ok, Jon's arguments were convincing :)
Really, the only problem is the added traffic on the list, but then again,
it should only be used by developers, who should be interested in bug
reports in the first place (right ?).

We should keep the default attribution of the bug depending on the
components, IMO. I think it's implied by your proposal.

I have no clue how to set that up, unfortunately ;-)

Since we're at putting more eyballs on some bugs, if someone could come up
with a reliable test case for bug 3511
(http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3511), which was reported
by Jon, that would be great :)

You are right Christopher.

Besides the (a bit sarcastic[*]) sense of humor and besides knowing some

I don't want you running for nothing so...

Your problem is:
 - When you are wrong, you are wrong;
 - When you are right, you still don't know how to prove it.


OTHO, you always make such a noise protesting that you are right that, 
eventually, if you really are right, someone with better communication 
skills ends up motivated to properly explain why you are right in a 
proper way... just to have peace back... and when that happens I learn 
something.


Have fun,
Paulo

P.S.: I have to confess that, obviously, you usually don't make all 
      the noise alone by yourself.

Even the pushy non voting bastard (me) agrees that something should
come to the dev list.

I was pushing the daily digest thing coming to dev, but after 
Christopher rationale (it takes work doing it + don't ask what you 
won't do) I sure agree that the practical solution is to have all 
the bugs coming to tomcat-dev. 

Meaning: I really changed my mind and I now think that the initial 
vote was quite ok.

Just my 2 cents.


Have fun,

There were a few reasons that I didn't include a "separate mailing list" 
option in the vote. There seemed to be more a little more support for 
just having them come here to the dev list, and it's hard to effectively 
call a vote on three options instead of two, so I picked the one that 
would be more likely to pass.

Also, while I might technically have the ability to call for a vote on 
anything, it's bad form to call a vote on something that you personally 
cannot make happen. Since I do not have the ability to set up a new 
mailing list, it would be the equivalent of me forcing more mailing list 
duties on Pier.

Basically, I did the most that I could do. The only people who could

RE: [VOTE] Bug Notification E-Mails

Posted by Paulo Gaspar <pa...@krankikom.de>.
Christopher,


Since you are the VOTE proponent, could you take a look at my previous
suggestion:
  - having a "tomcat-bugs" mailing list;
  - having a _daily digest_ to "tomcat-dev" (which should refer the
    existence of the bugs list).

It was made clear along this discussion that BUG messages were removed
because people complained about clutter.

The fact that they are faced as clutter by many defeats the idea of
getting more eye balls posting them all one by one - people will "jump
over" and ignore them just as everybody does to advertising banners.


The daily bug digest + bug list still sounds like a nice compromise to
me. I think that it is the best way to get more eye balls.


Anyway, I know I would prefer it this way, but I have no Karma to do
anything about that besides noise.


Thanks and have fun,
Paulo Gaspar
